Let the night rides begin!

Time: 6:30pm

Location: Commuter lot at the intersection of Wilcox Street and Iron Horse Blvd, Simsbury (Behind the Bank of America drive-up ATM).

What the hell is this?: Off-road, night-time cyclocross/mountain bike ride. Mix of rail trail, dirt roads and singletrack trails throughout the Farmington Valley. Keep your road bikes at home.

What should I bring?: Handlebar or helmet light (or both), rear strobe light, bike clothing appropriate for the weather (it can get cold after sunset). Also a change of clothes for a post-ride beer at one of the local pubs within walking distance. And, of course, money to buy beer for the ride leaders.

Why should I do this?: Because it's the most fun you can have while wearing a bicycle helmet.

This week's route: Since we have a little daylight at the start of the ride, we'll try to go a little further than normal and hit the usual spots in Avon, but also head into Farmington. As usual, the exact route will remain a mystery so as to lessen the likelihood of capture.

But that comes with an increased likelihood of being abducted...
